Reservation Conversions and Finance
Customers who previously placed an IONIQ 3 reservation can now convert it into a full order. They receive the £3,750 Electric Car Grant instead of the £1,500 Hyundai Reservation Saving.
Hyundai Finance offers the Advance 61 kWh from £355 per month over 48 months, with a £355 customer deposit, at 8.9% APR representative.
Ashley Andrew, President, Hyundai Motor UK, said: “The response to IONIQ 3 has been extraordinary, with more customers registering their interest before launch than for any new Hyundai we’ve introduced in the UK. Securing the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant across every version means we can now turn that interest into orders at a price that puts a genuinely spacious, long-range electric car within reach of far more drivers. With cars arriving in our retailers this month, we’re expecting its popularity to continue as more potential buyers manage to get behind the wheel.”
Range, Design, and Technology
The IONIQ 3 is a five-seat compact electric car with what Hyundai calls an “Aero Hatch” silhouette, shaped by the company’s “Art of Steel” design philosophy. It has a drag coefficient of 0.263 and 15.6 cubic feet (441 liters) of trunk space.
Hyundai quotes a range of up to 308 miles for the 61 kWh version, a UK-market figure rather than an EPA estimate. The car supports DC fast charging.
The IONIQ 3 is the first Hyundai model developed for Europe to use the Pleos Connect infotainment system, which runs on Android Automotive OS. Hyundai SmartSense driver assistance comes standard.
Trim Features
- Ultimate: Adds Matrix LED headlights, Highway Driving Assist 2, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.
- N Line Evo: Combines N Line exterior styling and 19-inch alloy wheels with a 14.6-inch infotainment display, Surround View Monitor, Blind View Monitor, and Memory Reverse Assist.
The IONIQ 3 is available to order now from Hyundai retailers across the UK.
GBP figures converted at £1 = $1.3224.
